Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

GLP compliance:

no

Reference 2

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1997-12-16

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study without detailed documentation

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Version / remarks:

Directive 92/69/EEC, A.10.

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

230 s

Remarks on result:

other: The test substance began to burn with flame. After 230 seconds the flames extinguished. In this time the test substance was burned along 40 mm of the powder train. There was no more spread out of flames.

Result of the Preliminary test

The test substance began to burn with flame. After 230 seconds the flames extinguished. In this time the test substance was burning along 40mm of the powder train. There was no more spread out of flames.

The main burning rate test is not required because the substance did not burn along 200 mm of the powder train.

Interpretation of results:

non flammable

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test item is classified as non flammable substance.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was investigated according to EU method A.10. The substance did ignite during the preliminary screening test but did not propagate combustion along the 100 mm powder train and therefore no main burning rate test was required. The test item is therefore classified as non flammable substance.

Reference 3

Endpoint:

pyrophoric solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

GLP compliance:

no

Description of key information

The test item is classified as non flammable substance according to EU method A.10. Pyrophoric properties are exluded based on the chemical structure of the test item.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Additional information

Pyrophoric properties are exluded based on the chemical structure of the test item. Furthermore, the experience from production and handling shows that the substance does not react with water.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flammability of the test item was investigated according to EU method A.10. The substance did ignite during the preliminary screening test but did not propagate combustion along the 100 mm powder train and therefore no main burning rate test was required. The test item is therefore classified as non flammable substance.
